New Quick Angels CEO Encourages Entrepreneurs to Partner with Investors

The newly appointed CEO of Quick Angels, Emmanuel Lamptey, has called on entrepreneurs and young people with smart business ideas to partner with investors for growth and development. Speaking in an interview, Lamptey emphasized the importance of collaboration between entrepreneurs and investors in driving business growth.

For us at Quick Angels, we believe that growing a business is not only about finance. It's about discipline, attitude, and presentation," Lamptey said. "We provide more than just capital; we provide mentorship, guidance, and coaching to help businesses grow and compete globally."

Quick Angels has invested in over 21 companies across various sectors, including medicals, resource mining, food, spices, and rice farming. The company is looking to partner with more entrepreneurs and businesses that require scaling and support.

We evaluate the economics of each business and sign them up if they meet our requirements," Lamptey explained. "We believe in building businesses together. We invest, we grow, and we share the benefits."

Lamptey urged young entrepreneurs to position themselves to be investor-ready and to be open to mentorship and guidance. "If you own 10% of a million Ghana cedis, that's huge. It's not about ownership; it's about growing a successful business," he said.

The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs).

By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
